During the past few days the city press
did me the honor to mention my name in
connection with Taxing District offices to
be filed at the January election. While
such mention, coming without solicitation
on my part, would be hattering under any
circumstances, | feel that it is doubly 20 in
view of the fact that il is the general de-
sire to place in nomination for these Offices
only men of standing in commercial and
other circles, and il my W affairs would
permit / should be glad TO have my name
remain in the list from which a selection
will be made. AS it is, however,
all my time and attention Is
needed in the conduct Of business
enterprises with which / am connected,
and even should / be honored by a tender
Of n nomination / could not possibly prom
Use to give to the Office that careful atten-
ton which is demanded by the importance
Of the interests involved. For this reason,
and for the other reason that the work OF
selecting acceptable officers grows more
and more difficult rs the list Of candidates
| become larger, ] beg leave to withdraw
my name altogether, with thanks for the
| compliment. | wish 10 be placed on rec
ord, however, as n friend and advocate OF
| the Taxing District form Of government,
and hope that all the tickets placed before
| the people in January will contain only
the best OF names. Respectfully yours,
Sol. COLEMAN.
